A "Green" Earth-Destruction Alert Level (EDA Level) indicates that the Earth has not been destroyed. This is the default EDA Level in peacetime. In the event of the Earth being destroyed, the EDA Level will change to "Red".

CURRENT GEOCIDE COUNT: 0

The Current Geocide Count (CGC) indicates in real time how many geocides have taken place; that is, the number of times the Earth has been destroyed. A value of "0" indicates that at present, the Earth has not been destroyed. In the event of the Earth being destroyed, the CGC will be increased by one, to read "1".

The CGC is based on a combination of sources.

Astronomical observations: Every month, we take precise measurements of the motion of the other planets in our Solar System, to see whether the Earth's gravitational field is still perturbing their orbits as theory predicts it must. Should the Earth cease to exist, the observations and predictions would not match up, and the discrepancy would be noted.

Seismic readings: For more frequent but less accurate data, we also take weekly readings from a seismograph buried deep underneath the IEDAB Visitors' Centre in Nottingham, England. As long as the seismograph continues to generate readings of any kind, it, and the planet it is buried in, must still exist.
